    The Mojave 2 body is awesome.

    I really can’t believe nobody is producing a 1st gen 4runner body though! Mine is pretty rough, it’s going to take a lot of filler and sanding to clean it up.

    I saw that RC4WD is releasing a 4runner, looks like it might be a 1st gen, and hopefully a hardbody. Very interested to see what it looks like.

    I think I might break down and get the KTT 1st gen 4Runner body. $85 though.

    Not sure but it says back in stock so I'm assuming they don't last. I remember looking last year but they had no stock.

    I found some pics of it on their IG page, I don't think it looks that great for $85.

    Ew. That is pretty rough and lacking in detail. I guess I'll hold out for something better.
